GameCube and Wii games are not running

[thexfactor]

Hi Guys 

I don´t know why GameCube and Wii games are not running when I double click them on Launchbox. If you instead click with the right button of the mouse, and then select Dolphin emulator to launch the game, it runs OK.

I have Dolphin (development version) and I also tried the official version with no success.

The same is happening to PS2 games and PCSX2 official version emulator.

I already tried to turn on and off every single parameter on the emulator configuration, tried to delete additional parameters. Additionnally the Dolphin is set to default emulator and the GameCube and Wii is configured on the associated platforms tab.

Perhaps you imported them to use a different emulator ?

Can you get some screenshots for us to see ? One of the edit screen of a game and the others of the edit emulator window for Dolphin.

Turns out to be the Emulator associated to the games. I think it´s a bug. When I configured GameCube first time, I associated games with Retroarch, after that I installed Dolphin and once I changed the default Gamecube emulator, it has not changed the games.

It's not a bug, it's just how things work currently. That check box is just there to set an emulator as default for importing, you need to bulk edit your games to use the new emulator after if you imported them to use a different emulator before.

to do so go to your Wii or GC platform and press ctrl+a to highlight all games then ctrl+e to open the bulk edit wizard from there change the emulator.

"could not recognize file" is the culprit here

.7z file format is a compressed format that Dolphin doesn't work with. I recommend you unpack that .7z file and use whatever is in it in it's uncompressed format (likely is an .iso file). should work fine like that!
